Description James Bowes 2007-04-04 20:02:22 UTC

If someone requests a url we don't know about under our xmlrpc hierarchy, RHN
will raise an unhandled exception and 500. Instead, we should catch the
exception and return 404.

Comment 1 James Bowes 2007-05-22 17:25:26 UTC

RHN wasn't returning 500 already. The fix as implemented simply logs an
unknownXML error, rather than sending a traceback email.

Comment 2 James Bowes 2007-06-19 14:45:42 UTC

To test:
 - install the content management tools
 - run 'rhn-manage-channel-internal
--server=http://xmlrpc.rhn.webqa.redhat.com/XMLRPC --list --label rhel-5'
 - You'll get an error on the client, but not that no traceback email is sent
 - if debugging is turned up to 4 or higher, a message will be logged in rhn.log

Comment 3 John Sanda 2007-06-22 14:34:34 UTC

Here is what I see when I run the command in Comment 2:

[jsanda@espresso ~]$ rhn-manage-channel-internal
--server=http://xmlrpc.rhn.webqa.redhat.com/XMLRPC --list --label rhel-5
Red Hat Network username: jsanda_qa

While running 'channel.lookupChannel': caught
<type 'instance'> : Invalid request received (class xmlrpc.channel is not
defined (function = lookupChannel)).

Comment 4 John Sanda 2007-06-22 15:00:44 UTC

Did not find any traceback emails that were sent.

Verified in webqa.

Comment 5 John Sanda 2007-07-23 18:00:22 UTC

Verified in stage.

Comment 6 James Bowes 2007-07-25 15:14:42 UTC

rhn502 released.
